International Vice-Captain
The Under 19's got together as a team the day before the match and had a 2 hour drive to get to the ground. Not great preperation for such a young team is it? Adrian Barath, who averages 60 in FC cricket, was injured and did not play so that was a blow for them straightaway. They played a 20-20 match afterwards and the Under 19's played pretty well, losing by 18 runs only.
When the match started they couldn't cope with Pedro's inswingers which have become an extremely effective weapon against a lot of teams over the years. I still remember the Aussies having all sorts of problems against him in the 2005 VB series, so I have some sympathy for the rookies. Still, 18 is ridiculous and you would have thought that at least one batsman would be able to tough it out for a while.
R.E Adrian Dawes he is seriously quick, kept on beating the Bajans for pace on a really slow wicket. He is yet another of these small fast bowlers with bustling actions that we keep producing. Kelbert Walters was injured for this game and didn't play, but he is only 17 and has already been clocked at 86 mph.
They are playing Jamaica today and so will be confronted with an opening attack of Jerome Taylor and Darren Powell. It wont be easy but hopefully they will bounce back.
